Because the threat of freezing rain and ice practically causes Charlotte to shut down, I decided to leave off Friday night events on this weekend’s nightlife list (some events were being canceled; others will probably have low turnout). But the party must go on (Saturday)!

By the way, check back on Dusk Till Dawn next week for a list of Super Bowl XLVII parties in Charlotte.

Signature Saturdays (monthly event)
The last Saturday of the month means the return of this jazz-infused party by Eddietainment. Enjoy music by popular Charlotte band The Harvey Cummings Project, order food from the pizza and pasta bar, and select from a great drink menu, including $6 martinis and $3 bottled beers. Plus, there will be complimentary Remy Martin V samples. 9 p.m.-2 a.m. Free before midnight; for VIP tables or birthday celebrations, email eddiet456@gmail.com. Vapiano, 201 S. Tryon St., vapiano-charlotte.com, eddietainment.com.

DJ Icey: One Big Room Tour
Acclaimed bass guru DJ Icey returns to Charlotte to lead the charge to the dance floor. Also spinning throughout the night will be DJ VB, Aaron Sigmon, DJ Indefinite, and DJ 1Up in the main room, along with Sundance Kidd, Miss Luna, Hobbess on the heated patio. Presented by Top Down Productions. Dharma Lounge, 1440 S. Tryon St., suite 105, dharmacharlotte.com, facebook.com/TopDownQC.

Girls just want to have fun. Boys will be boys. You’re an adult now. Sure, you have more responsibilities than ever and your time is increasingly pressed. But it’s imperative that you make time for happy hour. That you check out that new nightclub while it’s still the hot, new thing. Dusk Till Dawn will help you navigate Charlotte’s nightlife and social scene, telling you where to go and when to go there. Dusk Till Dawn is written primarily by Jared Misner and Jarvis Holliday.
